Looking at this data we can say that you have a decent chance of getting into Tirupati, Berhampur and a small chance of getting into TVM, Mohali campus.

Dear Aspirant,

It is quite hard to predict the exact situation as it depends on the number of students willing to take admission in the college and the seat matrix of the college.

There are 200 seats in Pune and about 20 are reserved for EWS candidates.

Going by this trend we can say that you have a good chance of getting into Pune campus in further rounds.

Keep in mind that Pune is one of the most preferred branches of IISER and hence is highly competitive so there might a lower chance of people dropping the seat in Pune.

So, please be prepared to go to IISER Kolkata as well.

Hope this helps.
